Where can you drive with the Dacia Duster in Iceland?
The Duster can handle gravel roads, uneven surfaces, and even light river crossings, making it a popular choice for those heading to places like Landmannalaugar or Þórsmörk — during their openings in the summer months.
Beyond the highlands, the Dacia Duster is ideal for the Ring Road (Route 1), as well as, visiting remote areas like the Snæfellsnes Peninsula, the East Fjords, or parts of the Westfjords, where roads can be narrow or unpaved. It also performs well in winter, offering good traction on icy roads and helping you travel safely through snow-covered routes. If you are travelling on a budget but still want to fully explore Iceland, then the Dacia Duster is the best pick for you.
Important Reminder: Off-road driving is illegal in Iceland. Even though the Dacia Duster is built for tough terrain, you must stay on marked roads and tracks. Driving off-road on lava fields, moss, beaches, or unmarked land will result in heavy fines.
